Barometer/Thermometer
• The 12-hour/24-hour timekeeping format you select in the Timekeeping
Mode is applied in all modes.
• The year can be set in the range of 2000 to 2039. The day of the week is
calculated automatically in accordance with the date you set.
• The watch’s built-in full automatic calendar makes allowances for different
month lengths and leap years. Once you set the date, there should be no
reason to change it except when battery power drops to Level 4.
This watch uses a pressure sensor to measure air pressure (barometric
pressure) and a temperature sensor to measure temperature.
• You can calibrate the temperature sensor and the pressure sensor if you
suspect that readings are incorrect.
To take barometric pressure and temperature readings
Pressing E in the the Timekeeping or in any of
other sensor modes enters the Barometer/
Thermometer Mode and automatically starts
taking barometric pressure and temperature
measurements.
• It can take up to four or five seconds for the
barometric pressure reading to appear after
you enter the Barometer/Thermometer Mode.
• Barometric pressure is displayed in units of
1hPa (or 0.05 inHg).

• The displayed barometric pressure value changes to xxxx hPa (or inHg) if
a measured barometric pressure falls outside the range of 260 hPa to 1100
hPa (7.65 inHg to 32.45 inHg). The barometric pressure value will be
displayed again as soon as the measured barometric pressure is within the
allowable range.
• Temperature is displayed in units of 0.1°C (or 0.2°F).
• The displayed temperature value changes to xxx °C (or °F) if a measured
temperature falls outside the range of –10.0°C to 60.0°C (14.0°F to
140.0°F). The temperature value will be displayed again as soon as the
measured temperature is within the allowable range.
• In some areas, barometric pressure is expressed in millibars (mb) instead
of hecto-pascals (hPa). It really makes no difference, because 1hPa = 1mb.
• You can select either hectopascals (hPa) or inchesHg (inHg) as the display
unit for the measured barometric pressure, and Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit
(°F) as the display unit for the measured temperature value. See “To
change the barometric pressure and temperature units”.
• See “Barometer and Thermometer Precautions” for important precautions.
Temperature
Digital Compass
A built-in bearing sensor detects magnetic north and indicates one of 16
directions on the display. Direction readings are performed in the Digital

• During measurement, the watch displays an angle value, a direction
indicator, and four direction pointers, which change dynamically when the
watch is moved. After measurement is complete, the angle value,
direction indicator, and four direction pointers are frozen in accordance
with the last measurement.
• The indicator flashes on the display while a measurement is in progress.
Note
• Note that taking a measurement
while the watch is not horizontal
(in relation to the horizon) can
result in large measurement error.
• The margin of error for the angle value is ±11 degrees. If the indicated
direction is northwest (NW) and 315 degrees, for example, the actual
direction can be anywhere from 304 to 326 degrees.
• Any ongoing direction measurement operation is temporarily paused while
the watch is performing an alert operation (daily alarm, Hourly Time Signal,
countdown timer alarm) or while the watch’s backlight is turned on (by
pressing L). The measurement operation resumes for its remaining

Barometric Pressure Indicators
The watch’s barometric pressure indicators graphically show you whether the
barometric pressure for up to the last 15 hours has been rising, holding
steady, or falling. Since changes in barometric pressure signal changes in the
atmosphere, you can predict upcoming weather with reasonable accuracy by
looking at the current tendency of barometric pressure.
The barometric pressure indicator display area of the watch has three lines:
top, middle, and bottom. The location of each indicator tells you whether
barometric pressure is rising, steady, or falling.
Rise greater than 3hPa from previous
reading
Within ±2hPa of previous reading
Fall greater than 3hPa from previous
reading
How to Interpret Barometric Pressure Indicators
• The rightmost indicator is the newest indicator, the leftmost indicator is the
oldest indicator.
Rising pressure generally means improving weather.
Falling pressure generally means deteriorating weather.
• The locations of the indicators, not their pattern, indicates barometric
pressure tendencies.
• A series of multiple indicators in the top line of the barometric pressure
indicator display area indicates a series of rising pressure readings. It does
not indicate steady pressure at a high level.
• A series of multiple indicators in the bottom line of the barometric pressure
indicator display area indicates a series of falling pressure readings. It does
not indicate steady pressure at a low level.
• A movement of indicators from the top line to the
middle line does not indicate falling pressure, and
a movement of indicators from the bottom line to
the middle line does not indicate rising pressure. A
move to the middle line indicates that the current
pressure measurement is relatively unchanged
(within ±2hPa) from the previous measurement.
Rising pressure is not indicated until an indicator
appears in the top line, and falling pressure is not
indicated until an indicator appears in the bottom line.
• Steady pressure is indicated by a series of indicators in the middle line.
Notes
• Though you can configure the watch to display barometric pressure in units
of hPa or inHg, the barometric pressure indicator positions are always
determined based on ±3 hPa changes in barometric pressure.
• No indicator is plotted if a measurement operation cannot be performed
due to sensor malfunction, low battery power, because of the watch is in
the function sleep state, or any other reason.

About Barometric and Temperature Measurements
To take an altitude reading
Altitude indicator
Temperature
l ll
lll
lll
• Barometric pressure and temperature measurement operations are
performed as soon as you enter the Barometer/Thermometer Mode. After
that, barometric pressure and temperature measurements are taken every
five seconds.
• The barometer automatically takes measurements every three hours
(starting from midnight), regardless of what mode you are in. The results of
these measurements are used for positioning indicators in the barometric
pressure indicator display area.
• You can also perform a barometric pressure and temperature measurement
at any time by pressing E in the Barometer/Thermometer Mode.
lll
Altitude
Barometer and Thermometer Precautions
• The pressure sensor built into this watch measures changes in air
pressure, which you can then apply to your own weather predictions. It is
not intended for use as a precision instrument in official weather prediction
or reporting applications.
• Sudden temperature changes can affect pressure sensor readings.
• Temperature measurements are affected by your body temperature (while
you are wearing the watch), direct sunlight, and moisture. To achieve a
more accurate temperature measurement, remove the watch from your
wrist, place it in a well ventilated location out of direct sunlight, and wipe all
moisture from the case. It takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes for the
case of the watch to reach the actual surrounding temperature.
Altimeter
A built-in altimeter uses a pressure sensor to detect the current air pressure,
which is then used to estimate the current altitude. The watch is preprogrammed with ISA (International Standard Atmosphere) preset values,
which are used to convert air pressure readings to altitude values. If you
preset a reference altitude, the watch will also calculate the current relative
altitude based on your preset value. Memory is also provided for the storage
of altimeter data.
Important!
• This watch estimates altitude based on air pressure. This means that
altitude readings for the same location may vary if air pressure changes.
• This watch employs a semiconductor pressure sensor, which is affected by
temperature changes. Make sure that the watch is not being exposed to
temperature changes while you are taking altitude measurements.
• To avoid the effect of sudden temperature changes on measurement, wear
the watch so it is in direct contact with your wrist during measurement.
• Do not rely upon this watch for altitude measurements or perform button
operations while engaging in sports where there are sudden altitude
changes, while sky diving, hang gliding, or paragliding, or while riding a
gyrocopter, glider, or any other aircraft.
• Do not use this watch for measuring altitude in applications that demand
professional or industrial level precision.
• Remember that the air inside of a commercial aircraft is pressurized.
Because of this, the readings produced by this watch will not match the
altitude readings announced or indicated by the flight crew.
• Pressing D causes the measurement operation to restart from the
beginning of the cycle described above.
• Altitude is displayed in units of 5 meters (20 feet).
• The measurement range for altitude is –700 to 10,000 meters (–2,300 to
32,800 feet).
• The measured altitude may be a negative value in cases where there is a
reference altitude value set or because of certain atmospheric conditions.
• The displayed altitude value changes to xxxxx meters (or feet) if a
measured altitude falls outside the measurement range. The altitude value
will be displayed again as soon as the measured altitude is within the
allowable range.
• You can change the unit of measurement for the displayed altitude values
between meters (m) and feet (ft). See “To change the altitude unit”.
Altitude Indicator
In the Altimeter Mode, the altitude indicator shows the current altitude reading
in meters (m). As shown in the illustration below, the altitude indicator is
divided into two zones: one for 0 to 999 meters, and one for 1000 to 10,000
meters.
Though you can specify either meters or feet for the watch’s altitude
measurements, the altitude indicator always shows altitude in meters.
1000+ meter zone
0-999 meter zone
The above altitude indicator indicates an altitude of approximately 4,340 meters.
• The 0-999 meter zone starts from the 12 o'clock position (0 meters), and
indicates altitudes in 20-meter units.
• The 1000+ meter zone indicates altitudes in 1000-meter units.
Setting a Reference Altitude
How the Altimeter Works
With the Preset Values (No Reference Altitude)
• The watch measures the air pressure at your current location and uses the
built-in ISA values to convert it to the equivalent altitude.
After you set a reference altitude, the watch adjusts its air-pressure-to-altitude
conversion calculation accordingly. The altitude measurements produced by
this watch are subject to error caused by changes in air pressure. Because of
this, we recommend that you update the reference altitude whenever one is
available during your climb.

With a Reference Altitude
• If you set a reference altitude, the watch
uses that value when calculating altitude
based on air pressure.
• To determine the height of a tall building,
set the reference altitude to 0 on the
ground floor. Note, however, that you may
not be able to get a good reading if the
building is pressurized or air-conditioned.
• When mountain climbing, you can set the
reference value in accordance with a
marker along the way or altitude
information from a map. After you do this,
the altitude readings produced by the
watch will be more accurate than they
would be without a reference altitude.
Timekeeping Mode
time
Pressing D in the Timekeeping Mode or in any
of the other sensor modes enters the Altimeter
Mode and automatically starts altitude
measurement.
• It can take up to four or five seconds for the
altitude reading to appear after you enter the
Altimeter Mode.
• The Altimeter Mode screen also displays the
current temperature. See “Barometer/
Thermometer” for more information.
• During the first three minutes after entering the
Altimeter Mode, the indicator flashes on the
display and measurements are taken every five
seconds. After that, the indicator disappears
as measurements are taken every two minutes.
1. In the Altimeter Mode, hold down A until
OFF (flashing) appears or until the display
goes blank. This is the setting screen.
• If the display goes blank, it means there is a
reference altitude value. Release A and
wait for four or five seconds until the value
appears.
2. Press D (+) or B (–) to change the current
reference altitude value by 5 meters (or 20
feet).
• You can set the reference altitude within the range of –10,000 to 10,000
meters (–32,800 to 32,800 feet).
• Pressing D and B at the same time returns to OFF(no reference
altitude), so the watch performs air pressure to altitude conversions
based on preset data only.
3. Press A to exit the setting screen.

Altitude Records
To measure times with the stopwatch
Storing altitude data in memory creates an altitude record. If a reading is
greater than all of the other altitude readings currently stored in memory, it is
stored in the maximum altitude record. The following describes the contents
of each type of record.
Recording date (month, day), time (hour, minutes), altitude, and altitude
indicator: Up to 41 records
Maximum altitude (including recording date and time) and altitude indicator:
1 record
• The maximum altitude record shows information about the altitude record
that has the greatest altitude value. The maximum altitude record is
updated any time a reading produces an altitude that is greater than that of
the current maximum altitude record.

Press L in any mode to illuminate the display.
• The above operation turns on the backlight regardless of the current auto
light switch setting.
• The backlight is disabled while you are performing a bearing sensor
calibration operation in the Digital Compass Mode.
About the Auto Light Switch
Turning on the auto light switch causes the backlight to turn on, whenever you
position your wrist as described below in any mode.
Note that this watch features a “Full Auto EL Light”, so the auto light switch
operates only when available light is below a certain level. It does not turn on
the backlight under bright light.
Moving the watch to a position that is parallel to the ground and then tilting
it towards you more than 40 degrees causes the backlight to turn on.
• Wear the watch on the outside of your wrist.

Questions & Answers
Question: What causes incorrect direction readings?
Answer:
• Incorrect bidirectional calibration. Perform bidirectional calibration.
• Nearby source of strong magnetism, such as a household appliance, a
large steel bridge, a steel beam, overhead wires, etc., or an attempt to
perform direction measurement on a train, boat, etc. Move away from large
metal objects and try again. Note that digital compass operation cannot be
performed inside a train, boat, etc.
Question: What causes different direction readings to produce different
results at the same location ?
Answer: Magnetism generated by nearby high-tension wires is interfering with
detection of terrestrial magnetism. Move away from the high-tension
wires and try again.
Question: Why am I having problems taking direction readings indoors ?
Answer: A TV, personal computer, speakers, or some other object is
interfering with terrestrial magnetism readings. Move away from the
object causing the interference or take the direction reading
outdoors. Indoor direction readings are particularly difficult inside
ferro-concrete structures. Remember that you will not be able to take
direction readings inside of trains, airplanes, etc.
Question: How does the barometer work?
Answer: Barometric pressure indicates changes in the atmosphere, and by
monitoring these changes you can predict the weather with
reasonable accuracy. Rising atmospheric pressure indicates good
weather, while falling pressure indicates deteriorating weather
conditions.
The barometric pressures that you see in the newspaper and on the
TV weather report are measurements corrected to values measured
at 0 m sea level.
Question: How does the altimeter work?
Answer: Generally, air pressure and temperature decrease as altitude
increases. This watch bases its altitude measurements on
International Standard Atmosphere (ISA) values stipulated by the
International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). These values define
relationships between altitude, air pressure, and temperature.

Precautions Concerning Simultaneous Measurement of Altitude and
Temperature
Though you can perform altitude and temperature measurements at the same
time, you should remember that each of these measurements requires
different conditions for best results. With temperature measurement, it is best
to remove the watch from your wrist in order to eliminate the effects of body
heat. In the case of altitude measurement, on the other hand, it is better to
leave the watch on your wrist, because doing so keeps the watch at a
constant temperature, which contributes to more accurate altitude
measurements.
The following describes what you should do to give priority to either altitude or
temperature.
• To give altitude measurement priority, leave the watch on your wrist or in
any other location where the temperature of the watch is kept constant.
• To give temperature measurement priority, remove the watch from your
wrist and allow it to hang freely from your bag or in another location where
it is not exposed to direct sunlight. Note that removing the watch from your
wrist can momentarily affect pressure sensor readings.
Power Supply
This watch is equipped with a solar cell and a special rechargeable battery
(secondary battery) that is charged by the electrical power produced by the
solar cell. The illustration shown below shows how you should position the
watch for charging.
Example: Orient the watch so its face is
pointing at a light source.
• The illustration shows how to position a
watch with a resin band.
• Note that charging efficiency drops when
any part of the solar cell is blocked by
clothing, etc.
• Normally, you should try to keep the
watch outside of your sleeve as much as
possible. Charging is significantly reduced
if the face is only partially covered.
Solar cell
Important!
• Storing the watch for long periods in an area where there is no light or
wearing it in such a way that it is blocked from exposure to light can cause
rechargeable battery power to run down. Be sure that the watch is normally
exposed to bright light whenever possible.
• This watch uses a special rechargeable battery to store power produced by
the solar cell, so regular battery replacement is not required. However, after
very long use, the rechargeable battery may lose its ability to achieve a full
charge. If you experience problems getting the special rechargeable battery
to fully charge, contact your dealer or CASIO distributor about having it
replaced.
• Never try to remove or replace the watch’s special battery yourself. Use of
the wrong type of battery can damage the watch.
• All data stored in memory is deleted, and the current time and all other
settings return to their initial factory defaults whenever battery power drops
to Level 4 and when you have the battery replaced.
• Turn on the watch’s Power Saving function and keep it in an area normally
exposed to bright light when storing it for long periods. This helps to keep
the rechargeable battery from going dead.

• Even if battery power is at Level 1 or Level 2, the Digital Compass Mode,
Barometer/Thermometer Mode, or Altimeter Mode sensor may be disabled
if there is not enough voltage available to power it sufficiently. This is
indicated by RECOV. on the display.
If battery power goes low while a measurement operation is in progress,
the value produced by the last successful measurement operation remains
on the display. Attempting to perform a sensor operation in the Digital
Compass Mode will cause xxx to appear on the display. In other sensor
modes, the display will go blank. In the case of temperature, the last
successfully measured value will appear on the display.
• If RECOV. appears frequently, it probably means that remaining battery
power is low. Leave the watch in bright light to allow it to charge.

• At Level 4, all functions are disabled, memory contents are cleared, and
settings return to their initial factory defaults. Functions are enabled once
again after the rechargeable battery is charged, but you need to set the
time and date after the battery reaches Level 3 (indicated by the L
indicator) from Level 4. You will not be able to set any of the other settings
until the battery reaches Level 2 (indicated by the M indicator) after
dropping to Level 4.
• Display indicators reappear as soon as the battery is charged from Level 4
to Level 3.
• Leaving the watch exposed to direct sunlight or some other very strong light
source can cause the battery power indicator to temporarily show a reading
that is higher than the actual battery level. The correct battery level should
be indicated after a few minutes.
• If you use the backlight or alarms a number of

Power Saving
Digital Compass Precautions
When turned on, Power Saving automatically enters a sleep state whenever
the watch is left for a certain period in an area where it is dark. The table
below shows how watch functions are affected by Power Saving.
• There are actually two sleep state levels: “display sleep” and “function
sleep”.
This watch features a built-in magnetic bearing sensor that detects terrestrial
magnetism. This means that north indicated by this watch is magnetic north,
which is somewhat different from true polar north. The magnetic north pole is
located in northern Canada, while the magnetic south pole is in southern
Australia. Note that the difference between magnetic north and true north as
measured with all magnetic compasses tends to be greater as one gets closer
to either of the magnetic poles. You should also remember that some maps
indicate true north (instead of magnetic north), and so you should make
allowances when using such maps with this watch.

Backlight Precautions
• The electro-luminescent panel that provides illumination loses power after
very long use.
• The illumination provided by the backlight may be hard to see when viewed
under direct sunlight.
• The backlight automatically turns off whenever an alarm sounds.
• The watch may emit an audible sound whenever the display is illuminated.
This is due to vibration of the EL panel used for illumination, and does not
indicate malfunction.
• Frequent use of the backlight runs down the battery.
Auto light switch precautions
• Wearing the watch on the inside of your wrist, movement of your arm, or
vibration of your arm can cause frequent activation of the auto light switch
and illumination of the display. To avoid running down the battery, turn off
the auto light switch whenever engaging in activities that might cause
frequent illumination of the display.
• Note that wearing the watch under your sleeve while the auto light switch is
turned on can cause frequent illumination of the display and can run down
the battery.
• The backlight may not light if the face of the
watch is more than 15 degrees above or below
More than 15 degrees
parallel. Make sure that the back of your hand
too high
is parallel to the ground.
• The backlight turns off after the preset
illumination duration (see “To specify the
illumination duration”), even if you keep the
watch pointed towards your face.
Storage
• The precision of the bearing sensor may deteriorate if the watch becomes
magnetized. Because of this, you should be sure to store the watch away
from magnets or any other sources of strong magnetism, including:
permanent magnets (magnetic necklaces, etc.) and household appliances
(TVs, personal computers, washing machines, freezers, etc.)
• Whenever you suspect that the watch may have become magnetized,
perform one of the calibration procedures under “Calibrating the Bearing
Sensor”.
Calibrating the Bearing Sensor
Whenever you suspect that direction readings produced by the watch are
wrong, you should calibrate it. You can use either one of two calibration
procedures: bidirectional calibration or northerly calibration.
Use bidirectional calibration when you want to take readings within an area
exposed to magnetic force. This type of calibration should be used if the
watch becomes magnetized for any reason.
With northerly calibration, you “teach” the watch which way is north (which
you have to determine with another compass or some other means). You
could use this calibration procedure, for example, to set the watch to indicate
true north instead of magnetic north.
Important!
• If you want to perform both bidirectional and northerly calibration, be sure
to perform bidirectional calibration first, and then perform northerly
calibration. This is necessary because bidirectional calibration cancels any
previously set northerly calibration setting.
• The more correctly you perform bidirectional calibration, the better the
accuracy of the bearing sensor readouts. You should perform bidirectional
calibration whenever you change environments where you use the bearing
sensor, and whenever you feel that the bearing sensor is producing
incorrect readings.
Precautions about bidirectional calibration
• You can use any two opposing directions for bidirectional calibration. You
must, however, make sure that they are 180 degrees opposite each other.
Remember that if you perform the procedure incorrectly, you will get wrong
bearing sensor readings.
• Make sure that you do not move the watch while calibration of either
direction is in progress.
• You should perform bidirectional calibration in an environment that is the
same as that where you plan to be taking direction readings. If you plan to
take direction readings in an open field, for example, calibrate in an open
field.
To perform bidirectional calibration
lll
lll
• Static electricity or magnetic force can interfere with proper operation of the
auto light switch. If the backlight does not light, try moving the watch back to
the starting position (parallel with the ground) and then tilt it back towards
your face again. If this does not work, drop your arm all the way down so it
hangs at your side, and then bring it back up again.
• Under certain conditions, the backlight may not light until about one second
after you turn the face of the watch towards you. This does not necessarily
indicate malfunction of the auto light switch.
• You may notice a very faint clicking sound coming from the watch when it is
shaken back and forth. This sound is caused by mechanical operation of
the auto light switch, and does not indicate a problem with the watch.
Location
• Taking a direction reading when you are near a source of strong magnetism
can cause large errors in readings. Because of this, you should avoid taking
direction readings while in the vicinity of the following types of objects:
permanent magnets (magnetic necklaces, etc.), concentrations of metal
(metal doors, lockers, etc.), high tension wires, aerial wires, household
appliances (TVs, personal computers, washing machines, freezers, etc.)
• Accurate direction readings are impossible while in a train, boat, air plane,
etc.
• Accurate readings are also impossible indoors, especially inside ferroconcrete structures. This is because the metal framework of such structures
picks up magnetism from appliances, etc.
